Hey people, long time member, new poster :)

Well the names Jarrod i'm 18 and live on the Gold Coast ;)

Got bored today so thought i just come on and chuck up some picks of my car :)

Now i know most of you will probably HATE it (most people do) but oh well, its my car not yours and the decisions are mine to make :D

So it's a 1990 Nissan R32 Skyline GTS 4-door.

RB20DE :(

Standard exhaust with rear muffler cut out and replaced with straight pipe.

Automatic :(

Stock suspension and brakes. (which are s**t)

Standard wheels but i have a set of 14x8-inch meshies with 195/60 front and 235/60 rear that will be on soon.

Roof is bright green, bonnet is black and the rest is white. (colour change soon) have some cool little drawings on the boot and thats about it.

Car only cost me $500 and was bought stock standard so all the work has been done by me as i am a learning panel beater and this is just a car to practice on.

haha nice bucket you got there...ah least it's a car you'll learn stuff off that isn't as boring as your stock corolla or excel.

you never know, it might be respectable after you finish the schooling.

Haha cheers mate, and yeah your right on the money there, Corollas and Excels are shit house boring and plain lame.

Lol here's hoping.

It's like someone took the best parts of two cars to make one good car...and then made another car with the other parts :P

Certainly a project on your hands!

Hahaha :)

Yeah it is a bit of a project, but since i am a learning panel beater it will be good for experience. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks it will be Midnight black, the drawings on the boot will be done using a template and will be Monza red and they will fill that whole panel, and i will be making a custom fiberglass front lip unless my mate can find me a cheap kit. :)

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
